I couldn't understand what was going on, even after finding the orange pool. There isn't much gameplay aside from finding the orange thing or escaping from the green skeletons (the eerie sound really makes you want to run away!). Also I would think you could hit the other skeletons with the hands but it doesn't seem to do anything.\rI did read the in-game messages about it being a simulation and all but I think you need a better explanation for how the game works.\rBesides being a skeleton I also don't see how this fits the theme.\rHowever you set a very nice mood, with the eerie music, dark halls (sometimes a little bit too dark, but maybe it's just the settings I picked) and the things falling apart."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 2:09pm","epoch":1440597840,"text":"Really interesting game!
